     Professor K.N.RAJ (1924-2010)
 

Professor K N Raj
, one of the most eminent economists of the country and the founder of CDS, passed away on Wednesday, the 10th of February 2010. He was 86. Professor Raj made path-breaking contributions to our understanding of the Indian economy, especially through empirical analysis of its various facets. He also played an exemplary role in systematizing the teaching of and research in Economics by being associated with the establishment and growth of two of premier economics teaching and research institutes in the country, the Delhi School of Economics at the University of Delhi and the Centre for Development Studies at Trivandrum, Kerala.  At both the places he was instrumental in congregating a number of distinguished faculty and very bright students.Among his many institutional innovations, the one that for which he will always be remembered is the institutionalization of decentralized governance, which has greatly helped to improve inclusiveness and transparency. This form of governance has helped CDS evolve into an internationally-renowned research institute without suffering the usual pangs associated with high-profile growth and indeed, publicity. A special issue of CDS Chronicle  celebrates the life and works of this great teacher.
